Architecture and judgment for AI-era systems

Founder & CEO of Soft Pyramid. I help US small and mid-size companies turn AI-era prototypes into systems that hold up in production.

AI Rescue

Your prototype works in the demo. Production is a different problem.

Lovable, Replit, and Cursor got you to a working demo faster than any team could. What they did not give you is an auth model, a queue, a migration path, or anyone accountable at 2am.

I come in for four to six weeks, find what breaks first under real load, then either rebuild the core in Laravel or hand your team a plan they can execute without me.

How a rescue actually runs →

Proof

Three systems that were failing, and what changed.

Named where clients allow it, anonymized where they do not. Bracketed metrics are placeholders — replace with verified numbers before launch.

Real estate ops · US

Prototype to production in nine weeks

A no-code prototype was already routing live buyer leads with no auth model, no queue, and no tests. We rebuilt the core in Laravel, kept the interface the team liked, and shipped behind a feature flag.

Result: [rollbacks / uptime — verify]

Brokerage network · RE/MAX, Keller Williams

One architecture, forty offices

Each office had drifted into its own listing workflow. We consolidated on one data model and one deployment path, then handed operations back to the internal team.

Result: [hours saved per week — verify]

Operations automation · US SME

The workflow nobody could safely change

Sixty automations, no versioning, and one person who understood them. We rebuilt the critical paths in n8n with review and rollback, then trained two people to own it.

Result: [failed-run rate — verify]

How we partner

Three ways in. Each one starts with a conversation, not a scope document.

01

Architecture review

2 weeks

I read the code, the infrastructure, and the roadmap, then tell you what breaks first and in what order. You keep the document whether or not we work together.

02

AI Rescue

4–6 weeks

Hands-on rebuild of the core of a prototype that is already carrying real users. Delivery runs through the Soft Pyramid team; the architecture calls stay with me.

03

Fractional CTO

Monthly

Ongoing judgment for a team without a senior technical owner: hiring, vendor decisions, architecture calls, and the version of the plan your board can read.

Authority

The credentials, and what they actually buy you.

Certified Laravel Expert

The certification is the floor. The work is the architecture audits behind it.

n8n Ambassador

I teach the automation stack I deploy — including to teams that later hire us.

Founder, Laravel Live Pakistan

I run the country’s Laravel conference. That is where our senior engineers come from.

AI for Artisans and Beyond Code — shipping with AI without losing the plot.

Frisco for the relationship. Lahore for the depth. One accountable owner either way.

Delivery

Soft Pyramid builds and runs what we design here.

Thirty engineers in Lahore, US operations in Frisco. Scope, team, contracts, and the delivery calendar live on the company site. This site is where you decide whether you trust the judgment behind it.

Tell me what is breaking.

Thirty minutes, no deck. If it is not something I should take on, I will say so and point you at someone better.
